> No it shouldn't. The benefit of forcing the discipline of getting up early on children is greater than any health impact or inconvenience.

Since tone can often travel poorly across the wire—that is sarcasm, right?

No. I don't see what I wrote that comes across as sarcastic.

It didn't come across as sarcastic, but I hoped it was. As it stands, though I can imagine arguments for or against the current school set-up, the idea:

> The benefit of forcing the discipline of getting up early on children is greater than any health impact or inconvenience.

that a particular arbitrary method of instilling a particular arbitrary form of discipline is more important than any health impact or any inconvenience is horrifying to me, and I hope it doesn't find many adherents.
